Our story
Heroes wear a lot
of different capes.
Nurses, teachers, caregivers, moms — the everyday heroes who spend their lives carrying more than most. We make bags that hold their whole day, because the people we make them for don’t simply clock out when the shift ends.
The first Shift Tote.
It started on the ice
Four bags. One
slippery morning.
One February, our founder’s mom — a dialysis nurse — slipped and fell on the ice. She wasn’t hurt. But she was carrying at least four different bags, and that image never left him.
He started paying attention: to what nurses carry, what moms carry, what caregivers and teachers juggle every single day. It’s a lot. Nobody had designed for it.
So he did. No clunky utility bag. No compromise.
Almost a year in the making
Designed to hold a whole day.
It took almost a year of designing, refining, and searching to get the Shift Tote right — a bag that keeps up with twelve-hour shifts, school runs, and everything in between, and still looks good walking out the door.
Because the people who show up for everyone else deserve gear that shows up for them.
Cut, sewn, and finished by hand.
The right hands, in Bataan
A small shop that
cares like we do.
After almost a year of searching, we found the right manufacturer: a small shop in Bataan, Philippines, run with the same care and attention to detail we put into every stitch of the design.
We started working together — our orders helping her scale, her craftsmanship shaping every bag. Pretty soon the orders grew, and she had to hire more people.
That’s our favorite part: every bag sold creates more jobs in the Philippines.
Giving back
A portion of profits goes back to the Philippines.
When the floods hit Pampanga, we saw people who needed help. So we set out on a mission: to help people in the Philippines struggling to get food, water, and clothing.
The more bags we make, the more jobs we create in Bataan and the more we can send back. And this is only the beginning — we look forward to helping on an international level, wherever superheroes are needed.
A note from our founder
“Made with care. Made to carry it all. For heroes who don’t clock out.”
